Presentation at the OpenStack Summit in Paris, France on November 5, 2014. As the largest open source project in the world, OpenStack is produced by a huge and diverse community of global contributors. The most high profile efforts come from the individuals and organizations that produce the code and package the releases, however there are many other ways to get involved. In this sponsored session, we will highlight some of the key ways that IBM participates in the OpenStack community. We'll start off by reviewing some of our major code contributions, then we will highlight our conference and summit content, local meetup leadership activity, social media activism, web content, and more. After this presentation, you'll appreciate the full range of the activities that make an open source community strong, and learn how you can take part in the OpenStack community, as IBMers have. Finally, you'll have a chance to provide your feedback to guide IBM with its community activities, and have a starting point to get involved yourself.
